The Post-Holiday Blues

I’m back! Ah, that was a refreshing couple of weeks *sarcasm heavily implied*; but aren’t the holidays always crazy? I thought that I would be smart this year and take the two-weeks off. Don’t get me wrong, for the most part they were fantastic! Save for the actual holiday days, which are always fun but suspiciously tiring – not sure why. But the problem with taken such a long vacation is that it’s twice as hard to get back into the spirit of work. And this girl needs to be on her A-game right now!

Knowing that, care to take a guess at the first thing I did this morning while I booted up the old computer. Well, I investigated this hotel savings deal that Walt Disney World is currently offering. Should I try and go back so soon? Trust me, I want to, but can I take another vacation?

True, Jiminy, true. They say you should always listen to your conscience, that gut feeling inside of you that tells you what’s right and what’s wrong. And I did promise myself that 2016 would be the year that I take more time for myself and “treat myself” to things I don’t often treat my too. Maybe this is a sign, my first mission, to settle in and see what’s in store when I truly listen to what’s really inside.

I’ve been in Max’s “seat”, when parents were oh-so-embarrassing. But I’m slowly making my way to Goofy’s side, unable to contain my Disney dorkness!!
